Is vomiting blood during pregnancy normal?

I'm in my first trimester and have been having morning sickness, but today when I threw up, I saw some streaks of blood. My mother-in-law said it's probably normal because of all the straining. Is vomiting blood during pregnancy really normal?

I know how terrifying it is to see blood, especially when you are pregnant and constantly worried about the baby. But no, vomiting blood is absolutely not normal. Please contact your obstetrician immediately to be safe.

Listen to me, don't panic but you must call your doctor right now. While severe vomiting can sometimes scratch the throat and cause tiny spots of blood, any actual vomiting of blood must be checked by your gynecologist immediately.

I am not very experienced with pregnancy topics, but throwing up blood sounds really concerning. Have you been having very severe morning sickness lately? Please let a doctor know about this immediately.

Oh dear, that is definitely not a normal pregnancy symptom. Please don't wait around, head to your doctor or gynae clinic right away to make sure you and the baby are perfectly fine!

This is not normal at all. When I was pregnant, keeping my thyroid levels and stomach acidity in check was crucial. Please get this checked by your doctor immediately and get all necessary blood tests done.
